As shown in the drawing, thatpart of the machine which is associatedwith the pulp feed box, from which the pulp is fed to the breast roll,is designated generally by the numeral 15, this part of the apparatusbeing fixed, and having the breast roll endof the shakng or formingsection associatedtherewith, the other end of'this;sectionbeingassociated with a fixed part of the frame which is designated generallybythe numeral 16, this apart also -:being "stationary. For purposes ofconvenience in description, this shaking part of the Fourdrinier ishereinre ferred toiasthe forming section, because the -;a-ctual forming,ofthe sheet of paper is largely completed while the wire passes throughthe extent -of this shaking part. The forming section comprises va trussat each-side, the upper rail iof which serves 'assayshakingside rail. lb-t the couch rollend the formingsectionds provided :at each side,-withra heel pivot which in this case consists aof :a :readily:rcmovable pin :22, extending throughaa.suitable holeiin the shakingside rail into a socket in the fixed partofthe frame; the formingsection during operation roscillating in a substantially horizontalrtp'lanerabout theheelpivots. .Thetruss member may be of any desiredCOIlSt1llCtl0n,1bITlt ipreferably each truss member consists of the twoend fHlGlDbGlfSLQS'flHClQl, which are connectedeat their'lower ends bymeans of beams 25, suitable struts 26 being positioned betwecngthe siderails20 andathe beams to strengthen and add rigidityto thetrussconstruction. .Mountcd upon .thennachine are the usual deeklestraps 27 which travel "through wash troughs 2'8, and around the-pulley29,'these parts being of convertional construction.

Associated with each side of the forming section, at the breastroll-end, is .a support- ,ing'and shakingmen'iber which is designated:generally by the numeral 35,:each of these fshakingsupports receivingat its upperend, shown most clearly in "Fig.7 3, a housing 36,'wl1icl1,;as shownclea-rly in Fig.2, is in the mature ofqa'jaw member,adapted to receive i-the bearin f retaining sleeve 37. Within this:bearing sleeve .is mounted :a ball bearing which receives theend'of theshaftofthe breast roll. A capt38 is remov-ablylheld'in 1111389 "withinthe ,j aw member 36by means of bolts l 39, this cap I serving to retainthe bear- ..ing'sleevein position within the housing 36,

to thus hold :thebreast roll in operating po- :sition. In eachbearinga'suitable. end thrust receiving member 40 is provided. These anembersnotzonly take up'end thrust, but :by adjustment wearzmay beitaken up sothat the undesirable shaking 1 due to lend play of the breast roll willbe avoided. By removing the bolts 39 the cap 38 may be withdrawn and thebreast roll with its bearings removed as a unit, the relative adjustmentof the roll shaft in the bearings being thus undisturbed. These bearingsare preferably provided with end shields 41 which prevent the flow ofwaterthereinto.

It is notessentialethatball bearings be used, but suitable rollerbearings or even conventional solid bearings may be used if desired..Roller bearings of course, should be retained within a bearing sleeveas described above socthat the breast, roll and'the two bearings mayfbemove'dias a unit and without disturbingthe adjustment. of theseparts. vThis jaw .member 36 is adapted to receive, in pvotalconnectionythe breast roll end of each of the shaking side rails 20,eachof these railsibeing connected to one ofthe jawmembers'flby..means-of. apin 42, which extends through an opening in theirail 'and is threadedlymounted within apivoted member tficarried within a. suitable-socketinthe .jaw; member. One of theseshaking supports as-showniin'lfig. o,'isprovidedwith a socket member 4A, which is adapted to receive one end ofea shakelbar 45,.the other endof this :horizontal shakingof the breastroll-end of the "forming section.

As shown most clearly 1n Fig. each of these shaking supports comprises achair .neledframe memberi50, which adapted to receive the lift bar 51.are of similar construction except that only These -two supports onehasa socketfor receivingthe shake bar 4-5 and therefore onlyone need bedescribed in detail. "The *framemember is provided at its vlower endwith outwardly extending trunnion members 52, each of which is adaptedto west upon the upper face of a base member 53, which is in turnrigidly fixed to the foundation in any suitable maneThisLbase member isprovided with an opening'54: through which extends the'lower endof theframe 50, and the lower end of the [lift bar 51. Each ofthe two baselnem .bers has-an upward extension to which are connected the oppositeends of a beam '56, which holds the parts in fixed relationship. Each.of the'base members is also provided at each side of the opening 54:with upwardly extending, and-overturned, flanges 57, which cooperatewith the trunnion extensions 52, and retain those extensions in definite position. During operation lubricant is placed within the pocketformed by the flanges 57 and a plate 58 is positioned within the opening54, at each side thereof, to prevent the escape of the lubricant. Also aplate 59 is positioned at each end of flanges 57 to prevent escape oflubricant. The lower face of each of the trunnion extensions 52 iscurved. Each lift bar 51, at its upper end, is provided with lateralextensions 60, the upper faces of the lift bars and of these lateralextensions being curved, the curvature thereof corresponding to, andbeing of the same radius as the curvature of the lower faces of the trunnion extensions 52. In other words, as indicated by the dotted line A inFig. 7, the hearing faces of the trunnion extensions 52 and of the upperend of the lift bar 51 and its lateral extensions, are curved planeslying within the surface of a given cylinder. Each of the trunnionextensions 52 is pro vided upon each side face with a facing member 61,which is rigidly'secured thereto, and the outer face of which is curved.Positioned within the retaining flanges 57, and cooperating with each ofthe facing members 61, is a complementary gib or strip 62, thecooperating faces of these strips 62 being curved to correspond to thecurvature of the outer faces of the members 61. If desired suitablestrips, in the nature of shims, may be used to back up the strips 62. Asshown one of these strips 63 is of steel and the other 64 of leather.This is pre ferred for the'leather serves to absorb some of the shockarising during rocking; but any suitable material may be used for theseshims. The construction is such that when thus assembled the flanges 57overlie the facing members 61 and gibs 62 to retain the frame 50 inposition with respect to the base 53 and sincethis base member is fixed,any rocking of the lift bar and frame through the medium of the bar 45will necessarily cause those parts to rock about the trunnion extensions52,. which are restrained against bodily movement, by the parts justdescribed. The upper end of the lift bar, and its lateral extensions 60,has mounted thereon a cap 65, which supports and has connected theretoagainst sliding motion, the jaw member This cap member is preferablyintegral with the jaw member 36. This cap is provided with downwardlyextending and overturned flanges 66, within which are positioned strips67, similar in form and function to the strips 62 heretofore described,which are also backed up by suitable shims 68. The upper end of eachlift bar and its extensions are provided with facing strips 69, whichare similar in form and function to the strips 61 described above. willcause the casing 50, with the parts con- As the bar 4-5 is moveditnected thereto, to rock about the trunnion extensions 52. And sincethe upper ends of the lift bars 51 are connected to the side shakerails, through the medium of the jaw member 36 and the pins 42, anoscillating motion will be imparted to the breast roll end of theforming section, as is the usual practice. But inasmuch as the lowerface of the trunnion extensions 52 and the upper face of the lift bar 51and its lateral extensions (50, have the same curvature a substan tiallyfrictionless motion will result since the trunnion extensions will rollupon the cooperating faces of the bases 53 and the upper curved faces ofthe lift bars and the lateral extensions thereof will roll upon thecooperating face of the cap 65. Consequently a true rolling motionresults, which is practically free from friction. Furthermore as aresult of this construction the cap 65 will move in a substantiallyhorizontal plane, with no up and down motion, as is inevitable with theusual type of support which pivoted at its lower end to some fixed partof the foundation, and is also pivoted at its upper end to the shakingframe. The curvatiu'e of the cooperating faces of the members 61 and 62and members 67 and (S9 is such that as the casing 50, and the lift bartherein, are subjected to this above described rolling motion thesecooperating faces will slide freely one upon the other, thisconstruction being analogous to that present in a well constructed balland socket joint. The members 6162, 6769 tak up any end thrust that ispresent during operation of the device, and also provide means wherebywear may be compensated for. lhreadedly mounted within the flanges 57are the adjusting screws 63', through manipulation of which the shims 63may be moved to compensate for wear. Each of the caps- G5 is alsoprovided with similar adjust ing screws 68'. Plates 59 and 69' areprovided for preventing the escape of lubricant from about the upper endof the lift bars.

One of the great defects present in shaking sections as heretofore usedhas been the difficulty of securing adequate lubrication of the surfacesof the shaking supports. Consequently wear has been comparatively rapid,although the movements of these parts are slow. And in fact it has beenthis slow .movement which gave rise to the ditliculty of obtainingadequate lubrication. But with the construction shown herein thesurfaces which sustain the weight of the parts have a rolling motionrelative to each other and wear therefore practically negligible.However these parts are surrounded by lubricant during operation as thecooperative faces of the members 61(52, 67-69 have sliding motionrelative to each other and hilu'ication is needed. As is obvious fromthe drawing the construction of these-supmounted-upon the shaft 85.

porting members is such that they pump oil 'in'betwcen the faces ofthesecooperating parts'during rocking of the supports and adequatelubrication is thus secured even though the partsmove so slowly.

*Each of the lift bars 51 is provided in one face with rack-teeth 70.The channeled frame is provided with a cover 71. Mounted in'this coveris a shaft '72., which is provided within its length with an enlargementhaving teeth thereon, thus constituting a pinion '73, the teeth of whichmesh'withthe teeth uponthe cooperating lift bar. Also mounted withineach cover 71Jis a second shaft 7 lwhich is arranged parallel to theshaft 72. Connected to the cover 71 is a gear case 75, provided withsuitable openings to receive the respective ends'ofthe shaft-s 72 and 71, the end of each shaft-extending through these openings into the gearcase. Suitably connected to the gear case is a gear case cover 76.Mounted upon the 'outere'nd of the shaft '72 is a gear 77, which mesheswith a corresponding gear 78,which isinounted upon the shaft 7%intermediate its length. Also mounted upon the shaft '74 is a worm gear70, which meshes with a worm pinion mounted upon the shaft '81, theouter end of which has a sprocket wheel 82 pinned thereto. This sprocketwheel receives a chain 83 which also runs over a second sprocket wheel 8f, This shaft is supported at its opposite ends, in suitablebeaiingswl1icl1 are mounted in the standards 86, and carries thereon twoof the smallesprocket wheels 8%, one adjacent each end, which wheelscooperate respectively with the'two sprocket wheels 82, there being oneof'these sprocket wheels 82 associated with each shaking support. At oneendthe shaft is provided with a hand wheel 87, which is so positionedthat it may be readily man ipulated byanoperator. pon movement of thehand wheel to cause rotation of the shaft 85, the gear membersassociated with the two lift bars will be actuated to cause up and downmovement ofthose lift bars to raise or lower the breast roll end of theforming section as desired. And by properly proportioning the gears,sprocket wheels, etc,

the two lift bars may be caused to move in unison, to raise, or lowereach side of the shaking part the same amount.

This'type of shaking part as is the general practice, is provided withthe usual table rolls 90, and with save-alls. It is quite desirable, andis the usual practice, that the save .alls which are associated withshaking parts shall be maintained stationary during operation. This isordinarily accomplished by mounting the save-alls upon supports whichare entirely separate from the frame of the shaking part, being securedto the foundation of the machine. As shown in the drawing the save-alls,in this invention, are supported by the frame of the shaking partitself.

Two savealls are shown, a first save-all 100 and a second save-all 101;but of course any desired number of save-alls-may be used. The firstsave-all is supported at one side by the upper edge of thesecondsave-all, which in turn is supported by the frame of the shakingpart. The other, or front, side of the first save-all has an I-beam 102rigidly attached thereto, to which is connected at each end a bracket103, having a roller 10 i:

therein. Carried by each of the front members 24: is a forwardlyextending bracket 105, each of which has a stub shaft 106 mountedtherein, and positioned to receive the rollers 10 1 to support thefrontside of the first saveall. The second save-all. is provided, upon eachside thereofwith an angle iron 107, which is of more rigid material thanthe body of the save-all and serves as a track to ride upon the flangedrollers 108, each of which mounted upon a bracket 109, which is in turnrigidly secured to the frame of the shakingpart. Each of the save-allsis thus supported by the frame of the shaking part, but is movablerelative thereto, within a given range. In order to maintain each of thesave-ails stationary while the forming part is being shaken duringoperation, each of these save-alls is connected to a stationarystandard, which holds the save-all against movement sothat the frame ofthe shaking part will move back and forth under the save-ails which rideupon the rollers, free movement of the savc-alls and frame of theshaking part relative toeach other being thus permitted. Th'e'st'anda'rd110, which is associated withthe first save all and the standard 111which. is associated with the second saveall are substantially identicalin construction. The construction of these standa-ids is clearly shownin Figs. 1 through l. Each of these standards has a slot or groove 112therein, through which a retaining bar 113 extends, the inner end ofthis bar being cut away as shown at 114; for positioning within agrooved bracket carried by the respective save-ails. The grooved bracketassociated with the first saveall 1.00 is clearly shown in Fig. i andgnated bythe numeral 115, this bracket being preferably carried by thebracket in which the roller mounted. The bracket which is associatedwith the second save-all 101 is clearly shown in Fig. 1, for example,and is designated by the numeral 116, this bracket being preferablymounted directly upon the save-all itself, or upon the track 107.Secured upon each of the retaining bars is a collar 117 whichispositioned for contacting with the inner face of the standard, whenthe bar is in assembled position. The outer end of the retaining bar isthreaded to receive a hand wheel 118, which end of the spring contactingwith a slidable collar 120 which is pressed. by the spring against'thestandard to clamp the standard between the two collars. By propermanipulation of the hand wheel the tension of the spring may be variedso that the retaining bar may be moved to, and held in, any desiredvertical positioning within the slot in the standard. Due to thisconstruction the save-alls are held relatively stationary as theforming. section is given its shaking motion, the shaking part runningback and forth under the save-alls which are restrained against movementby means of the bar. lVhen desired the retaining bars may be manipulatedto remove the cut away ends from the grooves in the brackets so that thesave-alls may be then moved with the forming section.

This first save-all is closely associated with the breast roll, and thebreast roll doctor is preferably mounted therein. This doctor consistsof a metal plate 125 which is faced with a wearing plate 126. At eachend this plate 125 is rounded to ride in a corresponding groove in abearing member 127, which is riveted to the save-all. Also at eacn endthe plate 125 has an upstanding extension to which is bolted a lever 128which extends beyond the front end of the save-all and has a weight 129hung thereon. By means of this construction the breast roll doctor is atall times urged by the weight to swing upon the bearings 127 to hold theplate 126 snugly against the surface of the breast roll. Properpositioning of the breast roll doctor relative to the breast roll isthus at all times secured. And because of the pivotal mounting which isused, the breast roll doctor may be readily lifted, bodily out of thesaveall when this becomes desirable.

Carried by the frame of the shaking section, at each side thereof andadjacent the.

opposite ends of the first save-all, are two tracks 131. Connected toeach end of the first save-all is a hanger 132 which has a roller 1323mounted thereon which rollers are mounted for cooperation with thesetracks. Because of its considerable length the first save-all iscumbersome and unwieldy and this track and roller mounting facilitateshandling thereof. For the tracks 131 sustain the weight of this save-allthrough the 'medium of the hangers and rollers so that it may be readilyhandled in moving it f: m operative position back into the secondsave-all which is the inoperative position.

As stated above, it is necessary to change the wire in a machine of thischaracter every few weeks, and this constitutes a laborious anddifficult task; but in the device shown herein this task is very greatlysimplified, for means is provided whereby the forming section, with anumber of its associated parts, is moved bodily out of the way so thatthe changing of the wire may be readily accomplished.

During operation the side shake rails are pivotally connected to andsupported at the couch roll end by the frame 16; and are pivotallyconnected and supported at the breast roll end by the shaking support35, through the medium of the aw member 36.

Positioned at each side of the Fourdrinier part and adjacent the ends ofthe beams 25- are track supporting standards 150, each of which has twoinverted V-shaped upright extensions 151 (which are adapted to receive aV-shaped track member 152. Pivotally mounted upon the beams 25 at eachend thereof are roller bearing frames 153. As

shown there are two frames at each end of each beam, one on the insideand one on the outside of the beam, each of them being provided with anextension 154, which is pivotally positioned within a passage 155 in theenlargement 156 of the beam the extensions 154: being in alignment whenpositioned within this passage 155. These two frames are held within thepassage 155 by means of a bolt 157, which holds them against separation,and therefore holds them in place. Each of these frames is provided withtwo rollers 158, one at each end thereof, which are adapted to cooperatewith the tracks 152, as shown in Fig. 2. The tracks 152 are used onlywhen the forming section is being moved into, or out of, alignment withthe remainder of the machine, and they are not in position when themachine is completely assembled ready for operation, as shown in Fig. 1.When it is desired to move the forming section out of alignment with theremainder of the machine it is first lifted up wardly. The breast rollend is lifted by proper -manipulation of the lift bar, the couch rollend being raised by means of a screw jack 160, which is supported by asuit able bracket attached to the frame 16. lVhen the forming sect-ionhas been raised sufliciently, to substantially the osition in Fig. 2 forexample, the breast r0 l doctor is lifted from its bearings and laiddown in the pan of the save-all, the first save-all is then lifted andslid back into the second, deep, save-all 101, as shown in Fig. 2. Thecaps 38 are then removed from the breast roll, with its bearings, pickedup bodily by means of a crane or in some other suitable manner, and hungon the brackets 105. This of course causes slacking of the wire, asupporting bar, which is not shown in the drawing, being temporarilypositioned in place to hold the wire while the forming section is beingmoved out of, and back into, place. V- shaped bars 165, having rollers166 mounted therein, are then placed in position upon the standards 150,these bars being supported at their ends in V-shaped grooves 167, whichare provided in the inner ends of the extensions 151. These bars have tosupport comparatively litle weight and are therefore made light so thatthey can be easily handled without the danger of damage to the wire. Thebars 165 having been placed in position the heavier tucks 152, which areadapted to support the entire weight of the forming section are thenplaced in position by being run over the rollers 166, manipulation ofthese heavy tracks being thus facilitated. Two temporary standards 170,shown in Fig. 4i-

c then placed to receive sections of track 171, which are similar to thetracks 152, and one end of each of which is supported by the fixedstandard 150, the standard 170 being so positioned that the tracks 171will be in alignment with the t 'acks 152. he shaking support 35 and thescrew jack 160 are then lowered until the rollers 158 rest upon thetracks 152, after which the shaking ipport 85 and the screw jack arestill further lowered so that the forming section is entirely free fromthese two parts, being supported entirely upon the tracks 1532.

The forming section or shaking part may now be moved bodily out ofalignment with the remainder of the machine, and completely from withinthe wire which is hanging loose.

The old wire having been removed and the new wire placcd in position,this part then rolled back along the tracks 171 and 1,52 un til it is inalignment with the remainder oi the machine. The shaking support 35 andthe screw jack .160 are then elevated to again pick up the formingsection. This having been done the breast roll is then moved from itstemporary supports hack into the jaw removed by being rolled along therollers 166; after which the bars 165 carrying the rollers 166 are slidout of position. The "shaking support 35 and the screw jack 160 are thenlowered to bring the forming section into the proper position relativeto the rest of the apparatus. Oi course such other in- .c'idental partsas were neccssaril removed during these manipulations are replaced atfor supporting the proper time so that the device will be entirelyassembled. The parts having been thus reassembled the bars for retainingthe save-ails against shaking are replaced and the device is then readyfor operation.

WVhile the form of apparatus herein described constitutes a preferredembodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that the inventionnot limited to this precise form of apparatus, and that changes may bemade therein without departing from the scope of th invention which isdefined in the appended claims.
